Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that was 
published in the Federal Register. The AD applies to certain Eurocopter 
France (Eurocopter) Model AS350B, B1, B2, B3, BA, C, D, and D1 
helicopters; and Model AS355E, F, F1, F2, N, and NP helicopters. The 
reference to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 91.173 in 
the Compliance section is incorrect. This document corrects that error. 
In all other respects, the original document remains the same.

DATES: This final rule is effective August 13, 2013. The effective date 
for AD 2011-22-05 (76 FR 70046, November 10, 2011) remains November 25, 
2011.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility 
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal 
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation, 
any comments received, and other information. The address for the 
Docket Office (phone: 800-647-5527) is Document Management Facility, 
U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West 
Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AD 2011-22-05, Amendment 39-16847 (76 FR 
70046, November 10, 2011), applies to certain Eurocopter Model AS350B, 
B1, B2, B3, BA, C, D, and D1 and Model AS355E, F, F1, F2, N, and NP 
helicopters. AD 2011-22-05 currently requires, in part, a daily check 
of the tail rotor pitch control rod (control rod) outboard spherical 
bearing (bearing) for play, and allows this check to be performed by a 
pilot if certain regulatory recordkeeping requirements are met. As 
such, AD 2011-22-05 currently includes the following as the last 
sentence under paragraph (a): ``The record must be maintained as 
required by 14 CFR 91.173, 121.380, or 134.439.''
    As published, the reference to 14 CFR 91.173 is incorrect. The 
correct reference is to 14 CFR 91.417.
    No other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been 
changed; therefore, only the changed portion of the final rule is being 
published in the Federal Register.
